A couple of weeks ago Ben Porter had noted several Jack & Common Snipe in the wetter lowland fields, and as it was calm for once I put up some nets to try and catch them at dusk and dawn. Nothing at dusk and nothing just before dawn, but as I walked up to the nets at dawn I flushed a Common Snipe in to the mist net. Just the one bird, but a real pleasure to look at in the hand and the first ringed on the island for a couple of years.
